Polestar 2 fastback all-electric vehicle teased ahead of full reveal in coming weeks
Expected to have 400PS of power and over 450km of range, will rival Tesla Model 3
Unlikely to come to India, but may preview electric technology for upcoming Volvo EVs
Polestar, Volvo바카라™s performance-cum-electrified car division, has teased its first all-electric vehicle -- Polestar 2. It will be the brand바카라™s second model and will target the same market as the Tesla Model 3. The Polestar 2 will be a four-door fastback with an expected electric range of over 450km.
Some initial details revealed by the company about the Polestar 2 mention the total output to be close to 400PS which is similar to what the performance version of the Model 3 offers. The company has also disclosed that the Polestar 2 will debut the new Google Android HMI for Volvo Group with an in-car version of the Google Assistant. It will borrow some of the electric tech from the Polestar 1 hybrid sports coupe which had a performance rating of 600PS and 1000Nm.
That top-view of the rear end of the Polestar 2 is the only image available right now but there바카라™s more to come with the full reveal expected in a couple of weeks. The only image of the Polestar 2 suggests that its tail lamps will be connected.
In terms of prices, Polestar is expected to price its first EV around the Tesla Model 3 prices. The Model 3 with eqivalent range retails for close to Rs 30 lakh in the US market. The Polestar 2 will be the first of four EVs expected to launch by 2020 followed by the Polestar 3 which will be a luxury crossover.
The Polestar 2 will launch in 2019 and go into production after the Polestar 1. Like other Polestar models, it won바카라™t be sold in the traditional way. While Volvo will soon bring electrified products to India, we expect the luxury carmaker to disclose its India-related electric vehicle strategy this week.
